The Talcum Powder Lawsuit – Ovarian Cancer Injuries

We have been representing our clients for years due to their injuries from Johnson & Johnson talcum baby powder.  Our lawsuits allege that Johnson & Johnson’s products, such as Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder and Shower to Shower, can cause ovarian cancer.  Johnson & Johnson has attempted three times to use the bankruptcy courts to avoid litigating these cases. 

On April 7, 2025, the Texas Bankruptcy Court denied Johnson & Johnson’s third attempt to file a bankruptcy regarding these cases.  This means that litigation/trials will begin again.  The multi district litigation is pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in front of Judge Michael Shipp.  We will continue to fight for our clients’ rights.

Talcum powder lawsuits claim the manufacturers of baby powder failed to warn users of the increased risk of ovarian cancer when women use these products for personal hygiene. The Dugan Law Firm is accepting clients who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had significant exposure to talcum powder, including Johnson’s Baby Powder.

Plaintiffs’ attorneys claim the manufacturers of talcum powder have known for more than 40 years there is a link between using the product near the genital area and ovarian cancer. However, these companies intentionally made the decision not to warn women that the powder could cause cancer.

Research has shown that women who use talcum power on a frequent basis for personal hygiene have a 30% higher chance of getting ovarian cancer.
